Castle of Frankenstein No. 11
This 1966 issue of *Castle of Frankenstein* contains film reviews, interviews, and articles on science fiction and horror properties. Allan Asherman's "The Star Trek Story" profiles Gene Roddenberry's new series aboard the starship Enterprise, describing its 430-person crew, the technical specifications of the bridge set built by effects man Jimmy Rugg, and character sketches of Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy)—a half-Vulcan officer whose logical nature contrasts with human emotion. The issue includes approximately twenty brief film reviews covering 1966 releases and earlier works: *Fahrenheit 451*, *Seconds*, *What's Up Tiger Lily?*, *La Jetée*, and others, assessing their technical merits and entertainment value. Additional features cover Christopher Lee, the Hammer Studios, comic book illustrator Jim Steranko, and fandom activities, with cover art by fantasy painter Hannes Bok.
